Lou Henry Hoover

This photograph by Underwood & Underwood shows First Lady Lou Henry Hoover standing under the arched entrance to the West Garden with her dog, King Tut. The West Garden, which would later become the White House Rose Garden during the John F. Kennedy administration, was designed by landscape architect George Burnap under the efforts of First Lady Ellen Axson Wilson, President Woodrow Wilson's first wife. The South Portico of the Executive Mansion is visible behind Mrs. Hoover.
